Summary in English

In this course, students specialise within an area in the field of second languages by independently planning and implementing a well-defined research assignment that adds new knowledge to the field. The work is carried out in the form of a writing process where the students present, defend and discuss their work with the supervisor and other students. The work is presented in the form of a scholarly paper. During the work process and at the defence, students will review and discuss scientific method and theory, with regardsw to both their own thesis and those of their fellow students. The assignment also includes the opposition of another student‘s thesis.
